Seems like Jordan Lee and Bryanna Preston from Texas will be entering the portal.

Obviously, losing Lee would be a pretty big blow. She is from California; is an excellent student; and plans to go to medical school. I should think Cori Close would be calling. I was beginning to look forward to seeing Preston at the point. She is a load of fun. But she may remain a bit too unreliable for Schaefer. Incoming Lizzy Spaight looks like a really good fit. And random rumors of portal pgs coming to Texas appear more credible if Preston announces her departure.

I don't know about you, but I was lukewarm regarding Makeer after seeing her in the same tournament, I believe, last year, and now am really impressed with her improvement (which is what we hope for with all high school prospects).

Basingstoke, I've had a similar evolution in opinion about Makeer. However, to me, she is the kind fast, quick, jumping jack, explosive, and uber-athletic player that Somfai is definitely not. Makeer is exactly the kind of player whom I was advocating for UConn. Somfai may improve her learned skills, but she can't transform into the kind of genetic talent that Makeer has.

Of course, if my idealized female Connie Hawkins isn't available in the portal, Somfai may be a reasonable get for UConn. If that happens, I'll likely take your advice to find some Stanford video of her.

Let's also remember that UCONN has offered/pursued uber-athletic players, but has just not necessarily gotten them (eg Okeke).

Uh, there is a spot waiting for her in Storrs....

When I was pondering recently about who might be a good pickup for UConn, Somfai was a name that came to mind. I had no reason to believe she would be leaving Stanford at all, I just wondered whether the situation there was conducive to staying. I also had this thought/feeling/fantasy that Somfai was a good rebounder--I have no idea whether that is true. At any rate, I think I would welcome her with open arms.
 
It's EXTREMELY early in the portal but the leaders in the P4 so far are:

10 - Pitt (coaching change)
9 - Penn State (coaching change)
9 - Okla. State
9 - Iowa State (possibly 10)
8 - Miami (really 7 as Peterson left the team after 5 games)
7 - Tennessee (there's only 2 players left from last year's roster)
7 - Arizona
6 - UCF (coaching change)
6 - Indiana
6 - Purdue

5 - Wake Forest, Cincinnati, Houston, Alabama (coaching change), Arkansas, Georgia ( probably 8/coaching change), Miss. State

4 - Utah(possibly 5), Virginia Tech, Syracuse, Stanford(possibly 5), Louisville, Boston College (coaching change), Oregon



* As of 4 A.M. Day #1 the following schools have NO players in the portal :
UCLA, SC, Vandy,Michigan, Ohio St, Duke, Notre Dame, Texas Tech, Kansas, and GT. Possibly Texas A&M. (UConn)
Texas, TCU, and Colorado have potentially 2 each going in.
